D – Games to Teach the Game

This booklet has full ice, cross ice, one zone, two zone, etc. games. It is the most important part of the data base that I am sharing with the coaches who come here. We are teaching a game and not teaching drills. Every skill has to be applicable to the actual game of Ice Hockey. Teach a skill and then have the players use that skill under game pressure. Teach a playing concept like passing the puck to a teammate who is in a better postion than you. Create a game that emphasizes that game reading skill and see if the players can apply the skill within the game.

Some of the games are repeated with different groups playing the same game. i.e. Youth players play a cross-ice game with no passing and pro players do the same thing; just a lot faster and with more skill.

The games make practices a lot more fun and help players to understand the game by reading the situation and being creative in solving the situations.

Some of the games are the same but with different groups playing them. i.e. Pro's playing a no pass cross ice game as compared to a minor hockey team.
